about me

Developer who bridges code and growth

I'm a Full-Stack WordPress Developer and Marketing Tech Leader with a rare combination: I write clean, scalable code and understand what drives conversions. I don't just deliver systems — I deliver solutions that grow businesses.

Currently leading the marketing technology of a 10+ company holding in Brazil, I architect custom WordPress ecosystems from scratch using PHP 8, Vite, and OOP — while managing a cross-functional team of 7+ professionals.

How I work

🏗️
Architecture first

Before writing code, I design the structure. Well-architected systems scale without accumulating technical debt.

📈
Code that converts

Every technical decision has business impact. I develop with an eye on performance, UX and conversion metrics.

🤝
Technical leadership

I manage teams and projects with clarity. Direct communication, clear scope and predictable deliveries.

🔍
Measurable results

Every delivery has metrics. Lighthouse, conversion, load time — I need to know it worked.
